Kansas City head coach Andy Reid made a special media appearance this week.
Reid performed Tom Brady’s “Let’s Go!” Participated in the latest episode of. podcast and touched on several topics, one of which was his sideline conversation with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes was barking at Reed on the sidelines during Saturday’s Chiefs-Jaguars game because he wanted badly to come back but Reed wouldn’t let him. Reid explained on the show that he just wanted to make sure Mahomes didn’t break his ankle and was getting his health back first.
“You love grit, but sometimes you have to protect the player from the player,” Reid said. “These guys are wired differently. They want to rip your heart out in every way possible, jump on it, squeeze it, and everything else, and that’s what Patrick was like at that time. I just wanted to make sure that son of a gun wasn’t broken.”
This is a great answer from Reid and shows how much he cares for his players.
Players can say they are fine to go back inside, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need to be checked out by medical personnel. Once Mahomes was spotted and deemed okay to go back inside, he did exactly that.
He was able to lead the Chiefs to a 27–20 victory as they are now one win away from returning to the Super Bowl.
They will face the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game this Sunday. Kickoff will be at 6:30PM ET.
